So I've been meaning to post an update on both kiddos. I missed Blake's half birthday and Lily's 15 month post and so I kept thinking I'll do it when Lily turns 16 months. Then today I get the email from Baby Center that says "Your 16-month-old: Week 3". And I thought WHAT?! 16-month-old: Week 3?!!! How in the world did that happen?! I swear she was just 16-months!
So here is a quick little update on my 3.5 year old and 16, almost 17-month old.
Blake:
I can't believe he's just four short months away from turning four!
He is such a fun, loving, full of life little boy!
He loves to do anything outdoors, or anything that is active.
His favorite foods are, mac n cheese, hot dogs, quesadillas, pizza and most any fruit. Still not a fan of any vegetable.
He had been going through some major separation anxiety stuff. Like wouldn't want me to leave him with anyone except Russ. If he knew we were going to church or somewhere where he would be in child care he would start crying before we even got out the door. It went on for several months and I think we are finally, almost over it. {thankfully!} He has started a bad habit of coming and crawling into our bed at night {this is an almost every night occurrence}.
He still naps about 1.5 hours everyday, but can do without it if we are busy.
He goes to bed around 8pm and wakes up between 6:30-7am
He can spell his name! And is starting to recognize letters!
He's taking a soccer class right now {although we have yet to be to one yet because we were in Medford on week and it snowed the next}
Here are some pictures from over the last couple months:
Christmas morning Santa brought a helicopter!
He loves his hot cocoa from Dutch Bros.

I often find pictures like this on my phone.

Checking out a fire truck!
Blake, you are a caring, thoughtful boy and a great big brother to your little sister. I am proud to be your mom and have loved watching you grow! Mommy and Daddy love you!
Lily:
16, almost 17-months! Where has the time gone?! Seems like yesterday she was just a little baby! Now she is a walking, kind of talking toddler! Geesh, they grow up too quick!
She weighs 19lbs 5oz {5th percentile} and is 30in tall {25th percentile}
She loves to read books, sing {she'll sing Jesus Loves Me with me when I sing it to her before bed, I can't understand anything she is saying, but it is seriously the sweetest thing ever}, dance, climb on anything and everything and take any toy her brother is playing with ;)
Her favorite foods are yogurt, cheerios, bagels, mac n cheese and hot dogs {like her brother} and most any fruit. Oh, and she has a sweet tooth!
She start walking right after Christmas and hasn't crawled since!
She can say, mama, dada, more, yeah, uh-oh, B {is Blake}, ball and water.
She sleeps 7:30-7:30 generally.
She takes one 2ish hour nap a day. Unless she wakes up supper early or isn't feeling well, then she'll do a short morning one and an afternoon one.
Just about a week and half ago she was diagnosed with bronchitis for the second time. She had a slight cold {with a pretty bad cough} and started doing this weird breathing thing, and the doctor didn't like the way her lungs sounded so he gave her a prescription for prednisone and it cleared right up. It could also possibly be asthma related.
She has learned that if she doesn't get her way she can scream, or if Blake takes something from her. I'm ready for her to have words to use ha!
Here are a couple pictures of her from the last couple months:
Christmas Eve when she turned 15 months
She's a walking girl!
Getting sleepy during lunch
First pigtails!
{Gah! She looks so grown up in this picture!}
Lily, you are growing up so fast! You aren't a baby anymore and I can hardly believe it! I love watching to learn and grow. Mommy and Daddy love you!
